So thread moved really fast. Did we address how Kash, Gabbard and Hegseth all opted their departments out of Elons email response?

Wtf is up with that? Genuinely don't get it. Wouldn't you want to gut the departments and staff them with people who are going to do the job?

You don't need DOGE to waste time on departments that are now under Trump control. Trumps men will deal with those departments in their own fashion.

I hope they publish a selection of the worst responses they got.

And just to throw my hat in the ring: At my job I report what I did weekly to my supervisor and sometimes daily if I'm working on a project with a lot going on. I cannot imagine having a job where this is an unreasonable request.

I'm my work I have tracked jobs where the amount of time I spent on each job is carefully logged so that they can calculate the hours to charge the customer. Not having to tell anyone what you did for a week sounds asinine

Libtards, and frankly most people don't understand what fascism is. Fascism does not have any singular doctrine or system,

Fucking hell. No, it most definitely does have a specific doctrine. FFS. Mussolini wrote it out in simple to understand words.


1. Man is not an individual. He is a spiritual being subsumed into the cosmic(religious) whole by gradation of obligation, starting with his family all the way to the State which is the highest transcendent authority ordained by Nature.

2. The State which is the sole sovereign authority is self reinforcing. It answers to no man. Not the Proletariat. Not the Bourgeoisie, and not the Aristocracy. It does not even answer to its own leaders. It answers solely to the Doctrine of the State in whom the interpretation of said doctrine is given to those who through will master it and thus those who are a part of it. The State is indivisible and all abide within it and none without it.

3. Fascism is the ultimate triumph of Liberalism and Socialism, and also its ultimate negation. It is the apotheosis of both and implements solely by the rigorous application of the sciences both political and natural to bind both the natural and the political into a new universal truth of the all encompassing State in which there is no scientific truth but the State.

4. In so far as an individual must always exist due to base human nature, it may do so. But always within the confines of the State, where his or her personal liberties are curtailed when dangerous, and directed when allowed. Always for the purpose of the State and never without.

5. All States are this way. But the Fascist State is the only one that is awake to these fundamental doctrines, and thus is the one capable to fully master its society and thus bring prosperity and glory to the people in its charge.

What is funny is I find this stuff very repugnant. But the political party in America that most closely strays to the doctrines of Fascism is not the Republicans, its the Democrats. Though neither are Fascist in the strictest sense of the definition.

Crenshaw's district is safe red, and also the place where the old men and women who still think Crenshaw's rootin' tootin' military apple pie BUT also think Tucker's great, this will help in the primary. The only worry is he might go full Kinzinger and be obstructionist faggot knowing he has no future.

Anyone hoping trump seizes power over Democrats for life if Dems and Globehomos try the most craziest shit possible to dethrone him?

God only knows what happens if they try an actual honest to God, "Secret Service gets in a gunfight with some fedboys" coup. Trump is known for vengeance. They already tried to kill him 3 times that we know of. If they try again with absolutely no plausible deniability?

USAID was small potatoes compared to some of the programs out there. If he touches the 3rd rail of American politics and goes after something he absolutely is not allowed to go after, well.

Interesting times, eh? Are they getting desperate enough for dropping pretense? Not sure. They definitely seem to be programming the NPCs to be ready for it.

Insubordination is one of the causes under federal law that an employee can be fired. They can still sue to get their job back, of course, because fedgov is clown world. It appears this order is to make it as cut-and-dried as possible.

The issue is that OPM doesn't have the authority to make the request.

You seem confused by what fascism is. Yes those are some ideas of fascism but not what fascism actually is. Mussolini again stated that Fascism is not a universal doctrine that can be exported. It will be unique to any nation that adopts it. The core of fascism is that power must be attained to bring about the rebirth of the spirit of a nation and the foundation of a new man which will bring about the perfect state. To paraphrase Mosely "The difference between British fascists and Italian or German fascists is that we are British and they are German or Italian. All differences will spring forth from that" it is personalized/nationalized marxism. To think otherwise is to idiotically think all nations would agree on the same utopia. Marxisms goal is not the USSR, it's a stateless society. Fascisms goal isn't to gas a gorillion jews, it's to bring about the thousand year reich, or the greater Britain, or the Upward Romania.
